European descendants constitute around 15% of the total population. They are descendants of the Spanish colonizers and other Europeans such as Italians, British, French, Germans and Croatians (see also Croats) who arrived in the 19th and 20th centuries. The majority of them live also in the largest cities, usually in the North and Center cities of Peru: Lima, Trujillo, Chiclayo, and Piura.
The only southern city with a significant white population is Arequipa. Also in Oxapampa and Pozuzo in Pasco Region, and throughout all Cajamarca Region and San Martin Region. Recently, Peru has seen a migration of American retirees and businessmen come to settle in the country, due to lower cost of living and economic booms from the year 2000 to present.
